New jobs: Business developers are in demand this week

From the newsletter
Our job roundup for the week features 160+ new positions spread across Africa. While engineering and technical expertise remain the core of these roles, energy companies are also hiring for business development jobs. Key positions include Country Director at Power for All, Sun King’s Area Business Manager roles and Engie’s B2B Manager position.
The demand indicates that renewable energy companies are expanding their market presence, increasing revenue, and accelerating growth.
South Africa dominates in hiring with over 60% of the positions. Overall, the southern Africa part of the continent is hiring for utility-scale projects while East and West African firms recruit for off-grid renewables, a trend we have observed over the past weeks.
